Read OnlineThe Predicament of Redwood Paddock is a political satire. It is pure fiction, or is it? A little guy takes on the might of the closed ranks of government. It's a David and Goliath billing, with an ending which may be surprising, yet predictable.Such political satire could certainly be considered as pure fantasy, and although it is a work of fiction, there may just be elements which are uncomfortably familiar. A fledgling immigrant council minion decides to confront political correctness in society. A lofty ambition for a lowly servant of the presiding regime. He quickly grasps the currency of duplicity in the corridors of power, and has to seek out allies to deal with 'merchants of enlightenment' of the establishment, the psychologists.The gradual unfolding of this 'David and Goliath' encounter is both surprising and predictable. Making a difference has many cloaks.
